Ancillary task - magazine film review

This is the magazine review I created for my ancillary task.
After looking at a few reviews and analysing them, I picked out a few things that I wanted to include, these were;

• The title of the movie
• The directors name
• The main actors names
• The year of its release/production
• Its BBFC classification
• An image from the film, with a caption
• The reviewers name 
• And the review itself

I made the review using Adobe Photoshop CS3 as it is a more professional program compared to some others and so I could make my review look more professional.

Location stills

Still need to film

I thought that the filming i did over the Christmas holidays would be enough to finally finish my film, however, after adding all the footage i got, i found my film is still short by between 45 seconds and a minute 15 seconds. Hopefully, if i plan it right and can get my actors, i can finish filming completely this weekend.

Conventions of a magazine review

Most typical magazine film reviews start off with basic information about the film such as, release date, director, main actors, BBFC certificate and film length.
Then the actual review itself is started. This tends to contain a brief summary of the film and plot as a whole, followed by the film's key points being explored in more detail. Each of these main points is explained and the reviewer then goes into the good things and bad things about that point and their reason for seeing it in that way.
Towards the end of the review, the reviewer often summarises his opinions and decides whether they liked the film or not before giving it a rating, normally out of 10.

This review is from the film magazine"sight & sound" and is a review of the film push. The film title is at the very top of the page so people know exactly what film is being reviewed. The text is in bold and larger than the rest so it stands out. Underneath that is some basic information about the film itself, such as the film's director, the certificate and the length of the film. this is also bold and bigger than the main text, tough not as big as the title. Most of the page is taken up by the actual review. This contains the reviewers thoughts and opinions about key parts and plot points from the film.
